Biography

Dean Mulligan has been a Fingal County councillor since 2019. He also works as a social care manager and is a resident of River Valley, Swords in Dublin.

Question time
Why did you decide to run in this election?

I want to bring real, impactful change to Dublin Fingal East. As a Councillor, I understand the challenges in our communities and have always advocated for affordable housing, improved infrastructure, enhanced services, and government accountability. We need new voices in the Dáil and If elected I will continue the fight for a better future for all.

What do you think is the greatest issue the country faces right now?

I believe the greatest issue our country faces is the lack of long-term planning in infrastructure and housing, especially as it relates to large scale housing developments in communities that lack necessary infrastructure to support them.

What would you like your first speaking time in the Dáil to be about if you get elected?

If elected, my first Dáil speech would address the urgent need for integrated planning to ensure new developments come with adequate health, education, and transport infrastructure, making our communities more resilient and liveable for all.
